Breed History
The Golden Retriever is a Scottish breed that is intelligent and versatile. This breed was developed by Dudley Marjoribanks, the first Lord of Tweedlemouth around the 1840s. They are used for anything from service dog work to hunting. Originally bred for retrieving ducks and upland game birds for hunters, the Golden Retriever has become the third most popular breed in the US due to its amazing temperament and media involvement such as the movie "Air Bud" and the TV show "Full House".
